Czechs believe in real estate too much. Today I wouldn't put so much money into it, says Dennis Vymer.

June 11, 2026 · David Busta

For the Rentiér edition of Economics News, our founder gave a print interview about reaching financial independence — and why he now thinks Czechs (himself once included) lean too hard on real estate.

In the Summer 2026 Rentiér edition of Hospodářské noviny (Economics News), journalist David Busta interviewed our founder on the question the whole issue asks: how to build enough wealth — and what role real estate should really play.

His honest answer became the headline. He's 27, on track for financial independence before 30; he and his wife invest around 60% of their household income and track every koruna together. Real estate, he argues, just eats time and money — today he wouldn't tie up nearly as much in it as he once did.

For him, FIRE was never about quitting work — it's about buying back the freedom to choose. Financial security means a hard day at work is just that: a choice, not a trap. It's the same philosophy this app is built around.
